Reality often doesn't turn out the way one envisions it.

The Xiangyang Navy Division advanced in an attack formation all the way until it entered the Jingmen waters, and did not encounter any Mongolian Navy Division's warships, let alone ambushes. Even the Mongol cavalry on the north shore retreated silently, as if they had come with great fanfare this time to burn the two Xiangyang Navy warships and show off their strength.

This result made Jiang Hai and the soldiers of the Xiangyang Water Division, who were holding back their bellies, happy and a little disappointed.

After the previous confrontation, which was not a war at all, the people, including Jia Rudao, no longer had the idea of going to Jingmen City to wander around. The prosperity of the Mongolian cavalry made everyone's hearts heavy.

When You Tong, the prefect of Jingmen, heard that Jia Yidao and others had been attacked, and saw the mottled burn marks on the Xiangyang Navy Division's battleship and the wounded sailor soldiers, he was almost paralyzed on the ground in fright.

Originally, I was ready to make a good life with Uncle Jia Guo and make a good fate, but now I don't have the slightest thought. This is also fortunate that Jia Nidao has nothing to do, if Jia Nidao really has any damage in the Jingmen realm, I am afraid that his prefect will come to an end.

You Tong can also be regarded as seeing that although Jia Rudao, a powerful person in the DPRK and China, is a big backer, he is also a hot potato now. Who knows if the Mongols will give up? Will it make a comeback? Just with those tens of thousands of cavalry, or on land, the Xiangyang Navy Division lost two warships, and even hundreds of casualties, if the Mongols transferred the Navy Division to the Jingmen waters, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?

Therefore, at this time, what You Tong wanted to do most was to send Jia Nidao away as soon as possible, and the farther he went, the better, because when he heard that Jia Nidao would not stay in Jingmen and would not get off the boat, You Tong was so happy that he almost didn't jump. After hurriedly replenishing the fleet with some food and drinking water that had been prepared long ago, and offering a large number of medicinal materials, he respectfully watched the fleet sail away from Jingmen Wharf, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The next hundred miles of waterway is not long, but it is not short, along the way, Jianghai and a cadre of the Xiangyang Water Division are all mentally prepared for possible attacks, but what also surprises everyone is that there are no accidents on the most difficult more than 100 miles of waterway, and the quiet can no longer be quiet, and the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry that appeared before seem to have disappeared.

Such an abnormal scene made Jia Yidao's heart even more uneasy.

After entering the Jinghu Theater, Jia Rudao knew that the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were used to involve the Song army in the two major theaters of Huaixi and Huaidong, so that he could concentrate his superior forces to attack Xiangyang City with all his might, without worrying about being surrounded and annihilated by almost a million troops in the three major theaters of the Great Song Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry scattered all over Jingxiang like locusts crossing the border gathered together to burn the two battleships of the Xiangyang Navy Division in order to release those few rounds of useless rockets?

I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Since those Mongolian cavalry did not continue to target the Xiangyang Naval Division, did they continue to disband and plague the people of the Great Song Dynasty in Jingxiang? As soon as this idea came out, it was vetoed by Jia Yidao.

The speed of cavalry is very fast, but tens of thousands of cavalry does not mean that they can be gathered together. Put a few rounds of arrows to harass and disperse, it's completely a knife to kill chickens.

Could it be that Wen Buhua has already planned to concentrate all his forces to break the city in one fell swoop?

Without the harassment and raids of the Mongols, there was no jubilant scene in the fleet, but more depressing. It seems that in order to confirm Jia Yidao's speculation, a whole day has passed since he set off from Jingmen, and he has not received a battle report from Xiangyang City, this abnormal scene has made everyone more worried about the situation of Xiangyang City.

The original 100-mile-long waterway is now extraordinarily long.

……

At the same time, outside Xiangyang City, a shocking war that changed history was in full swing.

The overwhelming roar of horses' hooves and the countless Mongolian cavalry galloping like a flight replaced the various servant armies that were originally used as cannon fodder, and ran around the city of Xiangyang, which was already full of ruined walls.

If Jia Rudao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it immediately, and the fierce cavalry outside Xiangyang City at this moment was the Mongolian cavalry that had disappeared after harassing the Xiangyang Navy Division in the waters of Jingmen before.

These Mongolian cavalry, as Jia Yidao was worried, all gathered in Xiangyang City after a false shot.

The feather arrows in the sky fell on the walls of Xiangyang City like the pouring rain, and it seemed that there were no living creatures on the head of Xiangyang City under the rain of arrows, and even screams rarely appeared. If it weren't for the deep, steady and regular sound of the sound coming from the city from time to time, I am afraid that everyone would think that Xiangyang City is already a dead city at this moment.

With every sound, a few or even a dozen galloping Mongol cavalrymen fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into the mud of the city's flesh, which had already been soaked in blood, and could not tell whether it was meat or mud.

It was a bed crossbow placed on the head of the city, and like the divine arm bow, it was the only two long-range and large-scale siege equipment equipped in the army of the Great Song Dynasty. On the eve of the Tanyuan Alliance, the Khitan general Xiao Dalan was killed by a bed crossbow arrow, which greatly demoralized the Khitan, and finally forced the Khitan to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty in Tanyuan, and finally decided on the Tanyuan Alliance.

It's a pity that, compared to the feathered arrows pouring down from the sky outside the city wall, although the bed crossbow on the city wall is still sounding, the number is too small to really make those Mongolian cavalry hurt their muscles and bones.

A few small casualties, not only did not make the dozens of Mongolian cavalry galloping around Xiangyang City, coming and going like the wind retreat, but even more stimulated their ferocity, and even approached less than 100 meters away from the city wall, and quickly poured out the feather arrows in the quiver in the gallop, and then before the bed crossbow on the city wall made a sound, they controlled the war horse away from the city wall and retreated beyond the range of the bed crossbow.

And every sound of the bed crossbow sounded, the city could not see it, but the Song army on the city wall knew that there would always be dozens or even hundreds of Song soldiers who wound the bed crossbow and fell under the feather arrows of the Mongols.

Farther away, there were more Mongol cavalry waiting for the quiver of the Mongol cavalry to be shot by the lower cavalry on the ramparts. Behind these cavalry, there were densely packed servant armies of all stripes ready to charge and break through the city.

In the middle of these servant armies, a platform several feet high rises from the ground, and the mouth Wen Buhua, who is wearing the costume of the king of Zong, is sitting on the high platform and feasting the generals, drinking and listening to music, and more than ten Song women wearing light veils are dancing in the sound of this golden iron horse.

The city of Xiangyang is broken, and it seems that it is today.
